Sears is locating its West Coast apparel office in the historic Phelan Building on Market Street.

“Sears’ decision not only brings new jobs and investment to the City, but also anchors Union Square with the offices of one of the largest retailers in the nation,” said Mayor Newsom.

We are excited to be a part of the San Francisco community.”

According to a press release issued by Newsom’s office,

Sears Holdings’ San Francisco office will include merchandising positions across both the Sears and Kmart apparel formats. Associates will immediately begin occupying the space and qualified candidates looking to apply can send resumes to www.searsholdings.com/careers.
